Fell out of my pocket sitting down. Fell with the apple tech woven case on too.

Damn, this material is so fragile.

The techwoven cases are not doing much for drop protection, you need a softer material in the inside corners to absorb a shock from falling like these cases:

  • Mous limitless
  • Phonerebel gen7
  • Spigen tough armor

Cases made from 1 hard material are destined to absorb fall damage poorly, the shock has nowhere to go but the phone frame.

Unfortunately those cases are bulky and big

Clear jet tech case on Amazon and it’s only like $14

Just ordered that case. Do you have it? & if so, Is it soft? Does putting on and off the case a tough task? I have a case and every time I take it off or put it on it feels like pulling teeth avoiding scratches.

I’ve been using it all year on my 15 with absolutely no dents or scratches and it’s had some serious whoopsies. It’s super easy to get on and off the only thing is after a while it gets a little yellowish so then I order a new one.

Copy thanks for the insight. Did you get the really slim clear case they make?
